-
What happens after the 12 weeks?You’ll join our alumni/founder community, get access to ongoing pitch events, private job/intern boards, and grant/incubator referral support.
-
Can I work with a co-founder or a friend?Yes. You can either build solo or as a team.
-
Can I join if I’m working full-time?Yes. The program is designed for busy professionals. Sessions are held only once a week (weekends).
-
Will I get a certificate?Yes. You’ll receive a certificate from StratSchool upon successful completion — but more importantly, you’ll walk out with real outcomes and momentum.
-
Do I need a startup idea to join?Nope. Most participants come with just curiosity or a problem they care about. We help you find, validate, and shape your idea in Week 1 and 2.
-
Can I register a real company during this program?Yes. In Week 11, we’ll guide you through registering your business (GST, UDYAM, etc.). You’ll also get access to CA/legal support if needed.
-
What kind of startups is this for?Any idea that solves a real problem. We’ve had MVPs built in education, mental health, fashion, tech, local services, agriculture, and more.
-
What if I’m not from a tech background?No problem. We use no-code tools and teach you how to build your MVP without any programming skills.
-
Will I get personal feedback on my idea or pitch?Yes. Every team receives real-time feedback from mentors during the program, and live comments during the final Demo Day.
-
Is this only for students?Not at all. We have side hustlers, women restarting their careers, retired professionals, and students — all in the same cohort. The program works no matter where you're starting from.
